What is the ruling on combining the Maghrib and Isha prayers due to rain if the rain has stopped but its effects remain on the road?

For it to be permissible to combine prayers due to rain, the rain must be present at the time the concession is utilized, i.e., at the beginning of the second prayer. Otherwise, the combination is not valid unless there is another valid excuse, such as mud. Therefore, the prayer that was combined without a valid excuse must be repeated, as it is a debt owed. The intention to combine prayers is a condition according to the majority of scholars, and it is safer to make up the prayer for anyone who did not have the intention.
